SO THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE
JOHN 17:20-26
…that all of them may be one, Father, just as
you are in me and I am in you.
John 17:21
The world is this place where we all live, including those who do not
confess any faith or who manifest a faith different from ours.
Throughout many decades our society has seen these differences as the
cause of disunity, with diversity making it impossible to achieve unity.
In light of this, our faith communities should build themselves into a
sign of unity in a world that prefers the establishment of borders and the
creation of islands. We need for others
to see us among them as a Church united in its diversity, in which no one feels
like a foreigner or excluded.
Let us live our lives by the verses of the song:
By
joining our hands, we are united in our walk;
May
weariness be left behind us along the way.
Let
us sow love, tenderness, friendship;
Let
us carry and bestow the Peace of Christ.
Prayer: Father, grant that we may be light in
the midst of darkness. Enable us to be
examples of unity and to share your hope amid uncertainty. Amen.
